SINGLE WINDOW Initiative In Malaysia Introduction Basic Concept and Characteristics of SW Data Model Status In Malaysia Conclusion 2
Introduction Definition of Single Window: A facility that allows parties involved in trade and transport to t lodge standardized information and documents with a single entry point to fulfill all import, export, and transit- related regulatory requirements. If information is electronic, then individual data elements should only be submitted once.. (UNCEFACT( and WCO) A system which enables a single submission of data and information, a single and synchronous processing of data and information; and a single decision-making for customs release and clearance. (for NSW - ASEAN) 3
Basic Concept and Characteristics Key words in all definitions Standardized information Single entry Single submission Main Focus Re-usability of data/information Data Harmonization And Standardization A Master Data Model composed of harmonized and standardized data sets 4
Basic Concept and Characteristics cont. cont. Key Components and Characteristics of SW Architecture Central repository (applications, international standard master data model, risk management) Open standards for integration and interfacing with systems of all components concerned (Enterprise Application Interface) Communication security and protocol in data/information exchange between systems of all components of the Single Window within a nation as well as between Single Windows within a region. 5
Data Model and UNeDocs What is a Data Model? Data model is an abstract model that describes how data is represented and used. Existing Data Model WCO Data Model UNeDocs Why Re-invent The Wheel? 6
UNeDocs Data Model What is UNeDocs Data Model? Encompasses data requirements for the entire transaction process of cross-border trade. Will form the basis of the next generation of standards for international trade documents, both in paper and in electronic format. Ensures a built-in in alignment of import and export documents and information enabling exchange of information based on the harmonized data structures of the Data Model Provides a Master Data Model for a master document which can be used to generate all required trade documents 7

Master Data Model Reside in the central repository Open and technology-neutral neutral Standard data elements to be used with any method (either in paper or electronic form) for data interchange by any participant of the Single Window Using international standard of naming and design rules,, format and structure etc (eg( eg.. UNTDED 2005 ISO 7372:2005) Maximum data elements that fulfill minimum information requirement of each sector in the trade community and logistic supply chain Help implement key trade documents (purchase order, invoice, customs declaration, shipping instructions, conveyance report, cargo report, forwarding instructions, etc.) taking into consideration countries or trade that may not adopt electronic documents at the same speed 9
ASEAN Data harmonization and standardization is in progress Development of ASEAN Data Set to establish an ASEAN Data Model for the ASW 10
Single Window In Malaysia By virtue of the mandate by Government to implement the national Trade Facilitation Portal which is equivalent to the National Single Window, MITI is the Lead Agency of Malaysia NSW. The Trade Facilitation Action Council (TFAC) established by MITI to monitor trade-related related activities and performance of service providers in trade facilitation has assumed the task of Steering Committee of NSW MATRADE appointed as the implementing agency and established the Technical Committee of NSW Concept and features of NSW #17.

Single Window In Malaysia Implementation of NSW will be inline with activities undertaken under the ASEAN Single Window Malaysia will adopt the ASEAN Data Set in its National Single Window Malaysian Customs will implement a Customs Portal as its single window Some relevant applications in the Customs Portal will integrate /interface with the NSW and function as a component of the NSW 12

Conclusion Implementation of National Single Window is a pre- requisite of ASEAN Single Window Regardless of the type of model adopted, a single window requires a repository linking to all component systems. A Master Data Model supporting reusability of data is essential in implementation of an efficient and effective national/regional single window Adoption of open and international standards is one of the critical success factors in single window implementation 14

NATIONAL SINGLE WINDOW CONCEPT AND FEATURES OF NSW transmit and exchange data electronically within the trade community through a single window/common platform Standardised and relevant data can be reused to eliminate duplication interface and integration between various systems linked to Customs for information that are required for compliance, monitoring and risk management purposes facilitates collaboration between trading countries not to replace or compete but co-exists and complement with existing systems 18
NATIONAL SINGLE WINDOW Service offerings informational, transactional and collaborative trade compliance services (import-export declarations, permit and certification) payments sourcing (business matching) and logistics services trade information (trade and business procedures/ regulations, market information, maritime information, tariff codes and trade statistics) 19
